As always, no two people seem to define cheese the same way. I like a definition around the lines "early-game attack that derives its success from the fact that it is hidden, and sacrifices the economy in such a way that the game is lost if it does insufficient damage." Going 9pool is certainly not cheese in and of itself. Going ling all-in when when realizing his opponent had an incomplete wall-in and had scouted him last might quite well be defined as cheese. I am pretty sure that if up had scouted LJD first, the game would not have ended in that particular fashion. That being said, I am of the opinion that it is in fact a pro's job to win the game, by whatever means he deems the best, fastest and surest. Sometimes that way is cheese, sometimes not. | ||

1. if it fails, the player is not just behind, but basically loses 2. if the opponent scouts it, it is very easy to stop that said, i don't think 9 pool speed is cheese in any instance On September 27 2008 16:59 Fwmeh wrote: As always, no two people seem to define cheese the same way.

Sometimes that way is cheese, sometimes not. you certainly can't make the distinction between cheese and not cheese circumstantial factors in the game, like if up scouted JD first = not cheese and scouted last = cheese. your "going all-in ling when realizing opponent had incomplete wallin" logic fails because: 1. Byzantium 2 cannot be traditionally walled so JD knows this and thus 9p speed is a bit stronger than on maps that can be 2sup+rax walled 2. JD made 4 more lings (while his first six were en-route) before deciding to attack so i don't see how you can say he "decided to go allin after seeing an incomplete wall" because the extra lings were already being built 3. JD likely went 9p speed as a semi-defensive move to counter a bunker rush | ||

Btw I was thinking more or less the same as you (even if 9 pool speed is not a cheese imo) : when Boxer bunker rushes, people call it brilliant play, even if he does it 3 times in a row in an OSL final, when Flash did it vs Bisu last year, they called him an asshole, when he does that again the other day, while he has proved himself as a monster, some people call it brilliant while still others (bisu fans of course) curse him for that. But when a "nobody" like Frozean does it to Jaedong, he's a fucking noob... And what about the Bisu/Luxury game on Troy? Even if I was cheering for Bisu, i'd call it a clever build, especially on a map so hard for Z players. Imho, cheesing is an important aspect of the game (and it's fun to watch), and that not only the top 10 pros have the right to use. Or maybe we should introduce a "5min no rush except if you're boxer" rule? That would be awesome! ;-) PS : don't get me wrong, I love Boxer. | ||
